Etched-And-Regrown GaN P–N Diodes with Low-Defect Interfaces Prepared by In Situ TBCl Etching

The ability to form pristine interfaces after etching and regrowth of GaN is a prerequisite for epitaxial selective area doping, which in turn is needed for the formation of lateral PN junctions and advanced device architectures. In this work, we report the electrical properties of etched-and-regrown GaN PN diodes using an in situ Cl-based precursor, tertiary butylchloride (TBCl). We demonstrated a regrowth diode with I–V characteristics approaching that from a continuously grown reference diode. The sources of unintentional contamination from the silicon (Si) impurity and the mediating effect of Si during the TBCl etching are also investigated in this study. Furthermore, this work points to the potential of in situ TBCl etching toward the realization of GaN lateral PN junctions.

Materials Data on TbCl by Materials Project

TbCl crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of six TbCl sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Tb is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cl atoms. All Tb–Cl bond lengths are 2.79 Å. Cl is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent Tb atoms.

Dynamically tunable multicolor emissions from zero-dimensional Cs 3 LnCl 6 (Ln: europium and terbium) nanocrystals with wide color gamut

This study demonstrates dynamically tunable multicolor emissions from a single component, zero-dimensional (0-D) cesium europium chloride (Cs 3 EuCl 6 ) and cesium terbium chloride (Cs 3 TbCl 6 ) nanocrystals (NCs). Highly uniform colloidal Cs 3 EuCl 6 and Cs 3 TbCl 6 NCs are synthesized via the heating-up method. Excitation-wavelength-dependent multicolor emissions from Cs 3 EuCl 6 and Cs 3 TbCl 6 NCs are observed. Under excitation of 330–400 nm, both NCs exhibit blue photoluminescence (PL). Under wavelengths shorter than 330 nm, characteristic red and green emissions are observed from Cs 3 EuCl 6 and Cs 3 TbCl 6 , respectively, owing to the atomic emissions from the f-orbitals in trivalent europium (Eu 3+ ) and terbium (Tb 3+ ) ions. Cs 3 EuCl 6 and Cs 3 TbCl 6 NCs exhibit broadband excitation spectra and enhanced absorption properties. Particularly, Cs 3 EuCl 6 NCs exhibit a very narrow full-width at half-maximum in both blue and red PL and no overlap between the two spectra. Further, the photophysical properties of these NCs are further investigated to understand the multicolor PL origins by time-resolved and temperature-dependent PL measurements. Finally, the potential applications of Cs 3 EuCl 6 and Cs 3 TbCl 6 NCs as anti-counterfeiting inks for high-level security are demonstrated. Given their broadband excitation with enhanced absorption properties and dynamically tunable colors with a wide color gamut, Cs 3 EuCl 6 and Cs 3 TbCl 6 NCs have great potential as novel multicolor NC emitters for many emerging applications.
